where to begin lol...
1) have you tried accutane? (yes and it didn't work)
2) lil kid: what happened to your face?
3) have you tried blah blah blah
4) my bro: your face looks like a map
5) why is your face so red?
6) Maybe you need a boyfriend to cure the acne...then he asked me out, the bastard!
7) someone got me a tape of proactive!! ~I tried that too you ass!
I could go on and on, and it didn't help that I worked as a cashier with so many people seeing me and talking to me.
Fuck these ignorant fucks!
i really feel for all you people that have to deal with the ignorent fucks that are out there today thankfully i have only had one comment (i can cover my acne up) and i catn believe u guys are so placid about it, i would go fucking mad if people did that to me (people u hate - all good) but your FRIENDS! no no no
anyway i was sat in this place in oxford with my mate eating my lunch on a break from work i must have been about 15 (yes i remembered it all this time) no one new about my acne i always wore high cut tops and this bloke comes up and says to me can i have a cigarette i say no i havent got enough he starts screaming at me infront of all this people your a fucking spotty bitch you have got spots all over u u f**king slag etc etc etc
it was so embaressing luckily some lady came over and gave him loads of abuse and was like she isn't spotty and stuff
though i never have to see the people there again and they dont knows its me other than my friend just wanted to let you all know for the first time in my life i couldn't say anything (believe me this never happens)
and this is how my friend found out about my acne

Turnergirl, that was way uncool that that jerk said that to you in front of people. Immature people always pick what they think will bother you the most. If you have acne they aim right for that.
yeah end of the day it doesn't worry me that much i was upset at the time but i only remembered it till then - because it was a stranger i didn't know what to say i would have gone mad if it was someone i knew - also likely to punch them lol
so its all cool just thought i would share

Take it easy... My grandma is the same too. Everytime she sees me, she'll always make it a habit of observing my face, even if it's too obvious already that I'm looking at her straight in the eye but still she won't stop staring. She too will blurt out often in front of everyone, "Your skin is doing better, blah blah..." It felt uneasy because everybody was there and the attention was nothing that I'll want. Maybe we should be thankful at least for our grandmas care about us, right?
I know alot of clear-skinned people and when I meet them, of course they'll notice my severe acne but no they don't give a damn. They won't even share what they're doing to their great clear skin. It feels like they are thinking inside their heads, "haha burn in hell you zitface! "
And sometimes when you talk to a person you find that the guy's actually looking at your face, not your eyes.
PS: And that's a good point too. Because of this, I always look "intensively" into a person's eyes when I'm talking to him/her. Sometimes I get a "you have charming eyes" reply. Wow.

I hate that
When people turn to talk to me, their eyes flick from my eyes down my face, gradually noticing the active lesions in my face. Then they usually don't make eye contact with me again during the conversation.
I hate ignorant people that act like they know what they are talking about...even if they arn't trying to hurt you, it still makes you feel like crap. Here are some things that have happened to me.
1. Little kid asks "how many pimples do you have?" and than tries to count them
2. My friends dad starts asking me if I have tried using acne products
3. My own sister asks "whats wrong with your face?"
4. While on a trip my friend had this really expensive camera, one day I find the guys huddled around this camera laughing and saying "gross", when I came near they all fell silent and I looked and found a really really close up picture of me that they were all commenting on...it was terrible.
5. On the same trip some of the guys were talking about when they first saw me, and how terrible my skin looked.
6. On the first day of ninth grade it was really sunny out, and my friend said "holy crap dude, you got so many pimples.
7. In ninth grade I was talking my friend and he says "you and your sister look so much alike, you both have acne!"
8. Someone at school asks me "why are you sweating?" my face is oily idiot.
9. had a cyst on my cheek, and some idiot at school keeps asking me whats wrong with my face.
But I have gotten a lot of good comments too...Ive been called cute and handsome by a lot of girls, and have always tried to live life as if I didn't have acne and been really outgoing. I think some of the guys on the trip I took were jealous of me cuz I hooked up with a lot of the girls, while they got little to no action at all. It was still a great trip, even with some of the jerks.
I feel rather blessed actually, because the only comment I ever got was from a friend of mind who said, "Dude, you got a big zit on your nose." I don't really care about my acne much, so I just said, "Yeah, yeah. I'm gonna go ahead and pop it tonight."
It's a damn good thing I've got all my ego invested in my intellect.
Well in all the years that i've had acne there has only been one person who has said something mean to me, and that was:
"why don't you get some sandpaper and use it on your face"
after he said that all i said was, " well you'll have to give me the money to buy some as i spent what i had on me on dvd's, of course i was hurting inside when he said that but i wasn't gonna make it known, i walked off and on the way i keyed his car.
I cleared my acne and no one has ever said anything about it, as far as I know of. Rarely some people with a tan will say: Wow your so pale! or Eww your pale! and I'm like: Go and die of skin cancer already!
So anyway, since I cleared my skin up the only people who compliment me are some cool guys and senior citizens. It doesn't matter what people say. All that matters is how you feel about yourself.
When I was a teenager I had bad acne and managed to clear it up for a short time (in turn changing my life as I got noticed by the popular and pretty people.. and I started liking this one girl and then as soon as my acne came back, she started acting more distant and then one time when a bunch of us are just hanging around talking..she sounded all sympathetic like "What happened Chris...you used to be cute..but now you're just....-squirms like disgusted- funky.." and im thinkin...gee thanks..
---------------------
Then another time around when I was a teenager with my acne we were at my friends house and I swear I have never wanted to hurt a little piece of shit in all my life..but his 5 year old brother pointed at me and goes "Youuu uglyyyy"..and everyone started dying laughing except for me. and it became a running joke where when we'd hang out it'd be like "Hey chris.. -said in a little kid voice while pointing- Youuu uglyyyyy" like it was so hilarious.. I guess if i was an insensitive asshole I'd find something like that funny too though..
--------------------------
Oh, and one time hanging out with my friends on a nice summer day playing in the yard joking around(17 at the time) my friends obnoxious brother came out there and was playing and everything was fine but he was like "Hey chris throw that ball at something ugly, like your face"..
Hello, that wasn't funny, original, witty, clever, etc or anything, that was just such a piece of shit comment, unbelievable.
--------------------------
Numerous comments about "hey man wash your face" , just the whole stupidity behind it. still doesn't add to the pitying words from the girl I liked or the stupid brat kid, but they all effect you horribly and stick with you for a long time.
I'll always have a harsh view on how much looks matter in this world by the night and day contrast I get treated like when I have acne or when I don't. If you don't know how good looking people are treated, you are better off, because once you get in their shoes, you can never go back, because being ugly is never the same again.

Sad but true, but on the plus side acne has filtered out all the superficial fucks in my life.
me and my friend were talking about this girl and stuff then he goes "man she wouldnt go with you you the one with the acne" That hurt and it still hurts today. Thats really the only negative comment Ive got. my mom will say something annoying like "why are you breaking out again" or "your face is so oily" but I can take that. Thats just my mom being a caring mom
ok well we went camping with my babysitting kid, and shes all, you have bumps all over your face! and then my friends mom came up to me and gave me this neutrogena shit, and was like, it looks like your having some acne issues, i thought this might help. thanks, bitch. then i walked in the first day of school, having been on bp all summer, my face was ALL CLEAR and my friend nicole was all, whoa your face is clear, what happened? in front of all my friends, i was sooo mortified. i wear a hat a lot of the time, and my friend is always "just take it off, nobody will notice your acne" you already have asshole, stfu. then theres the worst when im talkin to a friend, and im like, i have so much acne, and there like, actually its pretty good, except for the stuff on your forehead, cheeks, chin, nose, and that part above your lip. THANKS. or when im talkin to them and i can see them lookin at all my acne, its like, my eyes hello...
i'd have to say the most embarrassing time was when i was walking into the hair cut place by myself and there were tons of people in the waiting area, including this 5 year old kid with his grandma...well when i walked in the little kid screams "eeewwww.....grandma look at that kids face!! it has spots all over it!!" and all grandma did was "shhh". OMG i felt like i was going to break down right then and there . i couldnt take it...all the people were staring at me and...oh it was so humiliating!! Luckly i'm going on accutane in about a week so i'll be all clear
You f*cking ugly motherf*cker (Not literally translated but something like that and I know he really meant it like that)
Ofcourse I heard some standard ones to, like "Hey, you forgot to wash your face with clearasil again" or "Hey what's that on your face" Oh well those last two don't really bug me.
